Yikes! Does the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wedding invitation contain a misprint?

Stop the presses! Well, it might be a little too late. Turns out the coveted invites to the wedding of the year between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were issued with a “so-called”- slight mistake. Susana Victoria Perez (@susana_vp) has more.

The invite is far more casual than its William-and-Kate counterpart

If your invitation to the Prince Harry-Meghan Markle nuptials hasn’t arrived yet, there’s a good chance you aren’t getting one. But, don’t fret. Copies are all over the place and Royals-watchers have been examining the invite closely, kind of like Sherlock Holmes in “The Hound of the Baskervilles.”

Discovery No. 1 has to do with the style of the invite, which is far more casual than the invitation you didn’t get to the Prince William-Kate Middleton wedding in 2011.

For Kates’ Big Day, the invite began “The Lord Chamberlain is commanded by the Queen to invite…”

Well, not you.

The Harry/Meghan invite, prepared by the firm of Barnard and Westwood, begins, “His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales…requests to the pleasure of the company of…”

(Not you, again.)

Skim down an inch or so and you’ll see that Harry is referred to as “His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales,” and Meghan is referred to as…

Rachel?

Nope. Even though her real name is Rachel Meghan Markle, and even though The Crown is a stickler for details, the invite deep-sixed “Rachel.”

Actually, Markle is a divorcee and current etiquette calls for Ms. rather than Miss. But, many Royals-watchers were shocked, anyway.

As the invitation notes, the wedding service is being held at St. George’s Chapel and will be followed by lunch reception at St. George’s Hall, given by Harry’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth.

Two hundred of those guests have also been invited to a cozier reception, a few hours later at Frogmore House. (The house, once the home of Queen Victoria’s mother, is a half mile south of Windsor Castle. It has a huge garden replete with lakes, bridges, thousands of trees and lots and lots of flowers.)

In other Royal Wedding news, it is being reported that Meghan’s father, Thomas Markle, will escort her down the aisle, even though father and daughter have reportedly not been close since Meghan was a teenager.

For a year, since the engagement of Harry and Meghan, her father has been described as “shy” and “reclusive.” According to accounts being reported in UK newspapers, Prince Harry called his future father-in-law and did the fence-mending.

Rumors that Meghan’s wedding dress will be designed by Victoria Beckham have not been confirmed, but it is expected that her dress will be far less lavish than Kate Middleton’s 2011 gown, which was designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen and was rumored to cost £250,000.
